I play the main character, Vogh Kath, in his play by post game. I must say that the city as he describes is like nothing I have ever experienced before in my over 30 years of playing. I started out at level 5 and am now level 11 and haven't even done a whole lot in the actual city. There are so many different things to do, own a house, delve, fight crime, do the pre-made modules, own a business. Your imagination is the only thing that will hold you back.

Ha! Exactly! You could run several campaigns in this city and the PCs could potentially never even meet one another. :D

Thanks for the video. Lots of good advice on starting and running an adventure in Ptolus. Your play-by-email campaign sounds fun!

I actually found your website before this channel. I've been gaming since 1982, we recently switched to Pathfinder. My best friend is currently running Savage Tides from Paizo and I'm up to run when he is finished. I bought Ptolus right after it came out but haven't played in it much. Group instability mostly. We have a solid group now, so I'm writing a campaign as my Magnus opus. Looking forward to your content and registering on your site tomorrow. Very impressed so far

Ha! Thanks! Captain America says, "LANGUAGE!" haha :D

Thanks! This is great information to get a group interested in the setting. Does the book include multiple adventure hooks to get players into the city, or is there a section that describes how to slowly introduce aspects like the laws, the politics, the day-today living, etc. of the city? It seems like it could be easily overwhelming for the unprepared. This is, of course, assuming everyone has read the player's guide.

There are TONS of adventure hooks in the book, but no real advice on slowly introducing everything. If you follow my advice from the video to make your PCs be from outside the city, then a city watch guard letting them in could give a cliff notes view of the laws. They could also hand them a pamphlet with an overview to keep them out of trouble. I did it kind of peace meal as things came up.

I don't mind magic items being for sale. Just throw tougher enemies at them, either monsters or npc's with equally powerful magic items. Removing them from the game is a less fun option in my opinion.

I completely agree!

i'm not sure what the issue is with using the Ptolus PDF. The PDF is hyperlinked and bookmarked and searchable. Unless you are actually trying to GM with only a phone? I honestly can't imagine doing that. If I'm going to GM I assume that responsibility would be to run it on at least a tablet if not a computer.

Not sure what you mean? Do you mean people shouldn't need my website or what? I run a LOT from my phone and seraching on the site is typically easier than the PDF for me. That's why I built it. haha. That and the map.

@@D20Pub Oh no, your site is a valuable tool no matter what. I meant literally I couldn't imagine runnign a game from my phone only. Not only do I run everything from a computer but I usualy have multiple screens. For instance if I'm running on Roll20 I need that r20 window open, as well as my notes, and discord for voice. I can't imagine how i'd do that with only one phone screen. Certainly more power to those who can do this.
